MTV readies 'Rocky Horror' redux
MTV is doing the time warp on a remake of 1975 cult classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
Lou Adler, exec producer of the original film, is partnering with BermanBraun and Fox Television Studios on the new rendition.
Two-hour remake will use the original screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien but may also include music not featured in the original.
Helmer and casting decisions have yet to be announced.

No reason for this at all. Whoever gets Tim Curry's part can only suffer in comparison.

How about Jim Carey?

This is a bad, bad idea.

Tim Curry's still alive. Let's have him do it again in all his bloatedness.
I don't understand why there is a need for a remake, quite frankly. Is it to be based more off the Broadway show?

I'll be honest. I've never seen more than clips from the film. But, it doesn't seem like the kind of film that could be remade.

I think I'll guard that rather closely. I have no desire to see the original, let alone a remake.

It's a terrible, terrible movie that lives only through audience participation in theaters. A remake is utterly pointless, as it won't garner any of the cult following.

I won't buy the DVD. For me the whole point was the audience participation. But, that was college before at least half of the Watchers were even born...
Toast and a water gun, anyone?

Ah heck, we have enough movies by now. We should just start over and remake every damn one. Right from the beginning with silent movies.
I can't wait for the Star Wars prequel remakes, myself.
Why doesn't anyone ever remake books? I'm going to start on my new and improved Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. You'll need 5 dictionaries to get through this one, by the time I'm done adding obscure words Donaldson never even dreamed about. I might even make some up. An entire Chronicles written Jabberwocky style.

But seriously...Columbia, back in the day...

I must agree that remaking this movie is pointless and disturbing on several levels.

I agree totally with Jenn...what a colossal waste of time, energy and money. Not only can Curry not be replaced you can't top Sarandon "Dammit Janet!"
